“The Cub Law states a Cub ‘thinks of others before themselves’ and this was a good way of demonstrating this.”

Jennie was motivated to do something for the homeless after she saw the film A Street Cat named Bob at the cinema.

She said: “I read the books and watched the film and felt I had to do something.

“Scouting has given me the confidence to try different things and this is why I decided to do the Big London walk at the beginning of March.

“With the support of the Beavers and Cubs, I have raised more than £400 for the Big Issue Foundation.

“I was delighted to see James Bowen and street cat Bob before the walk. I told him what the Scout group was doing and he happily signed a Scout group necker as a thank you for all the hard work we had done.”

Chief Scout Bear Grylls said: “Scouting is all about friendship and fun and adventure.”
